Yuba College – PLACED ON WARNING (2013)At its meeting of January 9-11, 2013 the Commission place Yuba College on PROBATION. Yuba College and Woodland Community College are in the same district. The recommendation for district action is the same for both colleges. The college recommendations are different due to the newness of the Woodland Community College as a college. The letter of February 11, 2013 called on the college “to complete a Follow-Up Reports by October 15, 2013 demonstrating resolution of the deficiencies noted in the 2012 External Evaluation Report. The report will be followed by a visit of Commission representatives.” The letter went on to site the vague finding that the “institution deviates significantly from the Commission's Eligibility Requirements, Accreditation Standards, or policies or fails to respond to conditions imposed upon it by the Commission. “ They did not include the phrase “in the Commission’s opinion.” The letter went on the state that “The College's deadline for resolving deficiencies and meeting all Eligibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards is October 15, 2014.” Again we see the confusion between the 2013 and 2014 dates. Another violation of 34 CFR 602.18. “The Follow-Up Report should demonstrate that the institution fully addressed the recommendations noted below, resolved the deficiencies, and now meets all Eligibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards identified in the External Evaluation Team Report and recommendations.” The list of recommendations is long. The recommendations are centered in the areas of integrated planning, developing procedures and policies, review of mission, use of data, and student learning outcomes (SLOs). There is also the demand that slo results be part of a faculty member’s evaluation. As I have noted before, this demand is contrary to California Collective Bargaining law. Again there is no indication in the report that the teaching is anything but acceptable or that the education that a student receives is not acceptable. The District Recommendations are the same as those for Woodland Community College. College Recommendation 1: To meet the Standard, the team recommends that the college develop and follow a process and schedule for reviewing/revising, applying and evaluating its mission statement. College Recommendation 2: To meet the Standard, the team recommends that the college regularly set college wide goals, identify measurable objectives, and evaluate progress in achieving those goals. College Recommendation 3: As recommended in 2005, to meet the Standard, the team recommends, again, that the college strengthen program review to include a comprehensive and meaningful analysis of data with emphasis on disaggregated enrollment, program completion, success trends and instructional delivery mode. Analysis should integrate the achievement of student learning outcomes. College Recommendation 4: As cited in the 2005 evaluation report and to meet the Standard, the team recommends that the college develop and fully implement a systematic evaluation cycle for its institutional effectiveness, decision-making, and governance processes in order to assess their efficacy, including: Planning Program review Committees (practice, procedures and decision-making) Results of these analyses and findings should be broadly communicated across the college and used as a basis for improvement.
To meet the Standard, the team recommends that the college implement, evaluate and broadly communicate an integrated planning model that strengthens the linkages among the program review, planning and resource allocation processes, and clearly delineates between college and district responsibilities, with institutional stakeholders made more aware of the criteria for prioritization and the procedures employed. College Recommendation 6: To meet the Standard, the team recommends that the college fully develop Student Learning Outcomes in courses, programs, support services, certificates and degrees; assess the results, evaluate the processes on a cyclical basis; and incorporate results in to planning, resource allocation and decision making. College Recommendation 7: In order to improve, the team recommends the college identify the learning support and counseling/advising needs of its student population and provide appropriate services to address these needs to support student development and success. College Recommendation 8: As recommended in 2005, to meet the Standard, the team again recommends, "the College should ensure that faculty and others directly responsible for progress toward achieving Student Learning Outcomes have, as a component in their evaluations, effectiveness in producing those learning outcomes." Further, the team recommends the college ensure that faculty and others directly responsible for progress toward achieving Student Learning Outcomes have, as a stated component in their evaluations, effectiveness in assessing those learning outcomes for continuous quality improvement. College Recommendation 9: To meet the Standard, the team recommends the college develop and implement a comprehensive and coordinated professional development plan for all employees and systematically evaluate professional development activities. College Recommendation 10: As recommended in the 1999 and 2005 evaluation reports and to meet the Standard, the team recommends that the college ensure that custodial, maintenance and grounds staff are adequate to support the existing facilities including the new facilities at Sutter County and Clear Lake Centers and develop a plan to address ongoing staffing needs. College Recommendation 11: As recommended in the 2005 evaluation report and to meet the Standard, the team recommends the college ensure that local processes for evaluation, dialogue, and planning of technology needs be designed, developed and implemented to interact with integrated planning at both the college and district level for resource allocation and professional development. “ And now comes the hammer!! “I wish to inform you that under U.S. Department of Education regulations, institutions out of compliance with Eligibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards are expected to correct deficiencies within a two-year period or the Commission must take action to terminate accreditation. Yuba College has exceeded the deadline for resolution of deficiencies noted in Recommendations 3, 4, 8, 10, and 11 above and must correct the deficiencies noted in the recommendations above no later than October 15, 2013, or the Commission will be compelled to act. In its Follow-Up Report, Yuba College must demonstrate that the institution has fully addressed the recommendations noted above, resolved each of the related deficiencies, and now meets all Eligibility Requirements, Accreditation Standards, and recommendations identified in the External Evaluation Team Report.” October 15, 2013 seems to be the day of reckoning for a number of California’s community colleges unless the assault by the ACCJC on the colleges is curtailed.
